Darktooth Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Yesterday was my 57th Birthday and I wanted to share with you all, how I spent my day. First I started by making sure I took the day off from work. What a lovely day it was! Though it started off cold at only 31°, there was full sun, no clouds and it warmed up quick. I got up early and made a quick trip to DSR to grab a few big slabs and brought them home. I put these in my yard and over time when I am bored I will split them to find treasures at my leisure. When I got back home I got out my new dremel 290 and tried it out on a few pieces to see how it worked. I did like using it while I tried to expose more of a couple of my Dipluera specimens. I also used my angle grinder to trim some of the excess matrix of of them as they were much bigger then they needed to be. Later in the afternoon my wife and I got some chairs and sat outside soaking up the sun and just enjoyed being outside. Then it came time to pick up my oldest 2 kids to come over to celebrate my Birthday. I ended up having my wife, 4 kids, and 2 of their girlfriend to help me celebrate. We ordered pizza and wings and my wife made me an ice-cream cake. After that I got to open my gifts. My loving wife had already given my my gifs early. She got me a Tommy Bahama silk shirt while we were in Florida, sterling silver rope chain, and the Dremel 290 which I got on Wednesday. My Son Dylan and his girlfriend got me a Geologic Time coffee mug, some cool rocks from lake Ontario and a piece of drift wood which was meant as a gag gift. A couple rocks they painted. His girlfriend painted a trilobite on one of them. My Daughter Rachel got me a gift card from Bass Pro. My Son David a gift card from Cabela's, and my son Devin, some money. All in all it was a nice day to chill out and relax with my family. It was much needed. 10 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
